There are some simple things that could be done immediately that could be a lot of fun. Here are my top ten.
The Top Ten Liberal To Do List
1.Publicly humiliate Joe Lieberman
2.Arrest Karl Rove
3.Close Guantanamo
4.Make up an agreement with Iraq and withdraw a substantial amount of troops immediately
5.Make it certain that Alaska will not get any earmarks per request
6.Start a Huge Public Works Project in every blue state none in any red state
7.With a Series of Presidential Signings, ala Bush, cancel all the FISA crap, gut the Patriot Act and eliminate the No Child Let Behind Program as not affordable and ineffective.
8.Immediately pass S-Chip and get all kids covered with medical insurance.
9.Appoint Robert Kennedy Jr to the Environmental Protection Agency and have him provide Obama with a list of five immediate things to do to cancel Bush's sneaky, undercover environmental assaults.
10.Make Mexico take back all of Texas and Oklahoma.
1.Strip Lieberman of all his Senate power. Announce this on television with a highly condemning statement that calls him a traitor to his office. Leak negative stories about him and lead a recall effort in Connecticut. This man needs to go down and go down hard. There has never been more of a traitor to this country that this ugly, evil man. He has been instrumental in losing two recent presidential elections. With a series of leaks, public comments and rumors it would be easy to drive his negatives from the existing low 40's into the low 30's or high 20's which would make a recall drive possible. The Democrats would not receive any heat from the media or the public over this as everyone can recognize
a traitor when they see one. He gambled on McCain and lost. Make the loss permanent.
- I would love to see Karl Rove in handcuffs on television. He has violated numerous laws and nothing has been done. Get the fucker in cuffs even if nothing happens afterwards. It would be worth it. This act would show that all those bastards who tried to ruin and steal our country with dirty tricks and law breaking may very well have a day of reckoning.
3.Close Guantanamo immediately without any hesitation. This will do much to show the world that the real America, the one that never would torture or hold people without charges, is back in charge. The liberals will love this and the conservatives will scream but who cares if they do?
- Iraq's government wants our troops gone. Let them take the lead by announcing publicly that they want all combat troops out by 2010. Have Obama and several Iraq parliament leaders meet and make a joint statement. Get 50,000 troops out within six months.
5.Make certain that Alaska will not get any earmarks per request. If earmarks are requested have an Obama spokesman go on television immediately to announce this and state his confusion on the matter as Palin made it clear that she did not support earmarks. This will cost Alaska over 200 million dollars per year. Combine that with the fact that Palin's budget is based on $75 barrels of oil, it is in the 60's regularly recently and Alaska will be in the red. She will have to seriously cut services or raise taxes to keep this state running. It will be fun to watch this silly wench try to explain that to her new found conservatives worshipers and Alaska residents.
6.Announce and immediately start infrastructure huge public works projects in Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin, California, Oregon , Washington, North Carolina, Virgina and all the New England states. Have huge signs up at each project announcing : Your Government Dollars Putting America Back to Work with the Obama logo. Make the public see something concrete being built. Most people are concrete not abstract thinkers. Let them see bridges being repaired, highways expanded, rail lines being built. Give the concrete thinkers and viewers some concrete, literally.
7.Bush and Cheney worked hard with these sneaky Presidential signings to expand the power o the Executive Branch. Well, thanks, guys. Now gut the Patriot Act, cancel the new FISA bullshit and cancel No Child Left Behind as a program too expensive to maintain and too ineffective in results.
8.all children covered with good health care. This will give Obama the time that he will need to deal with economic issues and push back health care for the rest of us. This must be done and when the economy improves then health care reform becomes the major priority.
9.Get Robert Kennedy working on canceling all of Bush's environmental assaults of the last eight years. Give him free reign and let him go. He is the most knowledgeable man on earth about these topics and will make profound changes for important environmental issues that have been ignored for years.
Make it clear that if Mexico wants to stay in NAFTA they must take in Texas and Oklahoma and all the radical wing nuts that live there. We will replace them with Puerto Rico and British Columbia.
Those are my favorites and I think they are all valid. Whenever anyone complains about him cutting right wing programs, Obama needs to show that great campaign discipline and repeat over and over
" We simply can't afford it."
